What principle insists that only the encryption key remains secret, not the algorithm?
A.
*-property
B.
Kerckhoff’s
C.
Zachman
D.
Simple substitution
Explanation:
Auguste Kerckhoffss theory on encryption states that an algorithm
should be publicly known with only the key remaining secret. The idea is that the
more people who are able to view the algorithm’s code and logic allow the algorithm
to be strengthened by a community. If the algorithm is kept secret, then there could
be flaws and weaknesses that are not identified and addressed by the developer.
